RV wash/wax & tire covers - UV Block?

Hi All! Any brand suggestions for wash/wax with UV protection for our 22 ft. Lance 2285? Also, hubby heard they make tire covers with UV protection as well. Did he hear wrong or all they all the same material?

Thanks!
  • Kennethwooster - Please provide more details (brand name, etc.). I've never heard of this. Thanks!
  • I've gone to a dry wash. I really like the finish and is much easier to install. Shines without all the hard buffing.

    X3 on the 303 Protectant. I use it on the decals on the trailer mostly. I see you're in So Cal too so you know all about UV!

    BTW, NAPA Auto carries 303. I had a hard time finding it locally otherwise.

    I don't believe that any wash/wax product would provide much UV protection. There are waxes and other products that can be applied after washing that do.
    I agree with Dick on tire protection- covers and 303. Our altitude is tough on rubber but my trailer tires do last 6-8 years before cracking appears.
  • I read recently that no matter what cover you put on the tires they don't do much good against UV rays but I use vinyl covers and 303 Protectant when I think of it.
